Dream Of Independence - Frida Hyvönen

Oh, it’s my birthday again

Hip hip hooray, I’m fairly grown up now

I learned to keep my expectations low

And my standards high

I built my life around a dream of independence

I built my life around a dream of independence

But heaven knows I am a follower

Receptive and easily disturbed

You know I dodged a lot of bullets

Just by keeping my impulses curbed

Can I afford to let go now?

Flow like rivers do

Would you abuse my softness

If I showed it to you?

If I showed it to you

If I showed it to you

Another year begins

Happy new year, I’m so much wiser now

I ven learned to tak a decent look

Before I dive in

I built my life around a dream of independence

I built my life around a dream of independence

But honey, honey, I’m such a follower

Receptive and easily led

If you think I look powerful

What you see is the power of restraint

It’s not a room of one’s own

It’s a dam in the river

I’m exploiting my own nature

To make it in this world

Do you follow me, honey?

Do you follow me, babe?

Changing…

I’m changing… I’m changing… I’m changing…
